Navigate to the "Map Uploads" tab in the left menu to access the Map Uploads dashboard.

Uploading New Maps

To upload new maps, click the green "Upload Map" button inside of the "Upload Information" panel.

This will bring up a window into your computer's file system where you can select the .tar.gz map files to upload.

Once you have selected your maps, a progress bar will appear, indicating the estimated time to completion of your map upload process.

After the uploading process completes, give a few seconds to the app to reflect the new map upload.

Once completed, a success message will appear and your new map will be listed under the "All Maps" panel.

Verify Map Checksum

First visit Map Information to learn where to find the maps app checksum. You will need to do this before proceeding in this step.

Our system has checks to ensure the uploaded map has not been corrupted, but there is no way to ensure that 100% of the data is correct. That's why manually verifying that the checksums match is important. Once the map upload has successfully completed, you will see a popup window displaying the checksum of the file you just uploaded. You must manually check to make sure this matches with the checksum on the Maps App.

You can also view the same checksum in the maps list after the popup is dismissed.

Selecting Maps

Once you have uploaded maps to your device, you can select which map you would like to use from the "Map Selection" panel on the left side of the screen.

Click on the dropdown showing the currently selected map area and select the name of the maps you would like to use.

Restart the VPS via the VPS control tab after selecting new maps.
